They intentionally left the credits off so you wouldn't pee yourself when you seen the ancient copyright notice and try to get it banned.

Subject: what a find
As an out and out Leonard Nimoy fan it was a great find. I enjoyed the film

Subject: Nice to see this film again
It's been a long time since last I saw this film, but thanks to the uploader, here it is.

Of special interest of course is the very young Leonard Nimoy in the lead, the same year he was a Zombie of the Stratosphere but long before he became Star Trek's Mr. Spock. Also of interest is the presence of Jack Larson, who was Jimmy Olsen in the classic TV series The Adventures of Superman. To me, it's worth viewing this odd b-film just to see these gentlemen.

Alas, this is yet another threadbare Jack Broder production with Herman Cohen around for laughs, and while it's not nearly as entertaining as their Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla, it's easier to endure than Bride of the Gorilla. (Do I detect a running theme? Gorillas and boxing?)

Trekkies will get a kick out of this. A rather dull script to other much better rise of the slum kid to semi-'Rocky' status movies as portrayed by John Garfield and Kirk Douglas for that time period. The ending left me wondering if the script writer had simply quit the project. Excellent print quality and interesting in that Leonard Nimoy's feature debut the special effects crew were already remaking his face.

Subject: Complete version
I downloaded the Mpg4 version and it is complete with credits. Also a very sharp copy--always good to see. Haven't watched it yet though.

Subject: The 700MB mp4 is fine . . .
Starts with the credits rolling, etc.

Subject: I'd like to see the credits, too...
The quality appears good, but where are the opening Titles and credits? The film starts with a bunch of punks sawing up a staircase!
